Rehtaeh Parson's story is tragic, but hopefully her story has helped take one small step towards ending cyber bullying. An image of her was passed around after she was raped by four men, and she was bullied so much that she felt the need to end her own life.

Hopefully now, a life can be saved, justice can be found for some, and cyber bullying and trolling can be put to a stop.

The way we are bullied and harassed has evolved the internet has changed and given greater ways a person can be tormented all under a cloak of anonymity. This is just another aspect the new future OHS professional will need to consider.......

PHILADELPHIA -- A young boy who was the victim of bullying has died, according to his family. Bailey O'Neill, who turned 12 on Saturday, was in a coma after suffering several seizures.

Bailey's family says he was jumped by two classmates during recess at Darby Township School last January and suffered a concussion as well as a broken nose as a result. He then began to suffer seizures the next day, forcing doctors to put him into a medically induced coma. Joy Fecanin, the boy's grandmother, told NBC10's Katy Zachry that he had to have a blood transfusion after getting pneumonia.

This is the best anti-bullying poster I think I've ever come across. The visual would be perfect in an elementary classroom, and the poster covers all areas from glasses to adoption to stuttering. Let's celebrate our differences!

Bullying can affect everyone—those who are bullied, those who bully, and those who witness bullying and is linked to many negative outcomes. Take children's complaints of bullying seriously, whether at school, on the playground, in the park, on the Internet. Probing a seemingly minor complaint may uncover more severe grievances. Children are often afraid or ashamed to tell anyone that they have been bullied, so listen to their complaints!

We can come up with hundreds of ways to raise awareness on cyberbullying, but how do we actually know that people are getting the message? The best way is to give students, teachers and parents the most knowledge on cyberbullying, so that we can take the topic more seriously. The Big March is a virtual protest against cyberbullying that contains:

- An EU conference

- An awareness raising video in 10 different languages

- A virtual Big March against cyberbullying

- A free app available in Google Play store

The project contains a video that shows what the Big March is all about. A group of students who are left with bruises, scars and tears, all walking in one direction while dressed in their school uniforms. The video shows unity, courage and strength from the ones effected by bullying.
